Geneva 20", by Marco Patrizi

Italian photographer Marco Patrizi (Biketrial Pool / Tribal Zine) offer us the first look at the fantastic final round of the 2012 World Cup in Geneva. It’s a gallery of photos dedicated to the 20” competition, which was the scene of the final combat between the series leader Vincent Hermance, European and Vice-World Champion Abel Mustieles and World Champion Benito Ros for the overall victory. A victory that went to Abel Mustieles. Dutchman Rick Koekoek made it into his third consecutive Super Final of the season and finished fourth in the competition and overall. Poland’s Karol Serwin managed a well-deserved fifth place ahead of France’s Théau Cortès and Spaniards Ion Areitio and Carles Diaz.

Among the spectators at the Antwerp World Cup, fresh from his Youth Games victory, was a certain Jack Carthy. After the final had finished he took his Sky 2 and tried out some of the Elite sections... It was an incredible ’after show’ that those that saw it will not forget in a hurry!

Olivier Allamand has been on another photoshoot, this time with top Atomz rider Nicolas Vuillermot. They headed into the woods of la Plagne in the middle of the night... the resulting photos are amazing!
